Annual Giving Campaign

Gifts from the heart in the form of time given towards fundraising events and in the form of monetary donations are essential to support the operating budget of the Anchorage Waldorf School. We have annual fund-raisers such as the Annual Auction aka Fall Gala and May Faire.  However, tuition and fund-raisers alone are not enough to meet our needs. We strive to keep our tuition as moderate as we responsibly can.

To this end, we have an Annual Giving campaign that is a key part of our yearly fundraising strategy. We want to encourage those parents, friends, and relatives who can afford to do so, to make a contribution over and above tuition. As we are a nonprofit 501(c) (3) corporation, donations are tax deductible.

Grant opportunities dramatically increase when 100% of families donate, regardless of the size of the donation.

School Year 2010-2011, we exceeded our Annual Giving Goal.  Thank you to all who contributed. 

Many Thanks to our visionary donars:
    Jim Anderson
   Julia Bevins
   James McCarthy
   Connie Sanders & Bob Loeffler
   Clo and Bruce Giffen
